Getting there

Well, as I'm working on three projects at once, I'm slowly getting there.


Right now my frustration is I want to be done with the belt for my kimono wrap. I'm terribly bored with working on it and I still have 10 inches to go. Not to mention the sleeve and the back that have to be done. But those will be better. It's just the purl one knit one that is bugging the hell out of me.

And I'm almost halfway done the baby blanket I'm working on as well as half done the scarf I'm working on. So I'm getting there......getting there.

Yarn Issues

In addition to being a bit scattered, I also have a bit of a yarn problem. I see nifty yarn and i want to buy it. I'm on a bit of self imposed ban on buying yarn now as I have so many projects lined up. But the last thing I bought was some of the nifty new self striping yarn from Bernat. I got some baby yarn for a blanket for a friend's new baby to be and some that was red and black just because. It's really nifty stuff. I've decided to do a scarf for my sister in law for Christmas with it.

I'm really making an effort this year to knit most of my Christmas gifts. I'm hoping I make it in time.
I've got one down. My sister's and a few to go.

And I think the leftovers from my sister's wrap will be made into a scarf in the same pattern for someone. Not sure who yet, but......

Dreads

Amongst the many projects I'm currently working on, I got some really nice wool to make myself some removable dreads with as I can't have synth dreads with my job. So I attached all the wool to a headband, but decided it was too wide of a headband. I bought a new one to rework everything with and was about to start with it tonight, but the new one snapped. Which sucks. I'll have to go out and get a new one before I can start working on it again.

It's a good thing it's been too hot out to wear them or I would be really chomping at the bit.
